Specification of Letters Patent.

llppliation filed may 2?;4912: Serial No. 7ll0,492.

water heating systems, the object of the invention being to provide an improved construction of Water chamber and heating coils within a fire box of any sort which Will utilize to the maximum degree the heat units of the fuel, causing the 'Water to be highly heated and insure a rapid. circulation through the system.

A further object is to provide an improved system comprising radiators consisting of coils, and so connect the coils in a cont-inu-' ous circuit or circuits Withpipe couplings having reducing chambers therein, so that a plurality of pipes may join with a single pipe and the volume of Water of the plurality of pipes be carried oil" through the single pipe at an increased speed.

A further object is to provide a heating system in which right angle bendsare dispensed with, so that the Water has a free flow throughout the system.

lVith these and other objects .in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure l, is a diagrammatic view illustrating my improved system. Fig. 2, is an enlarged View in section on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is an enlarged view in section through the water chamber shown in Figs. 1, and 2. Fig. 4, is an enlarged View in longitudinal sec, tion of one of thepipe couplings, and Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8, are views similar to Fig. 3 illustrating modified forms of Water back.

Referring particularly to the diagrammatic view (Fig. 1), 1, 2, and 3, represent the floors of a building and 4 a vertical wall or partition dividing the floors into rooms.

5. represents a furnace which may be of any construction or any sort of heating apparatus located in either the cellar or any other part of the building, and when I use the term furnace, it is to be understood it is used broadly to apply to any form of heater.

6, represents my improved. water chamber I which is preferably in the form of ahollow ring located in the furnace in the upper portion of the fire box, and supported on brackets 7 with its outer face spaced from the inner Wall of the furnace, so that the smoke and gases-may pass entirely around the water chamber.

8, is a return pipe which connects to the bottom of the water chamber and 9 is an.

outlet pipe which connects with the coilflO 1n the upper part of thefire box, and said coil communicates with the upper portion, of

the Water chamber.

11, 11; 11,- represent one series of radiators, and 12, 12, 12, a second series of radiators. The radiators in each series constitute coils which are parts of 13 and 14 respectively and single return pipes 15 and 16 respectively. @The supply pipes 13 and 14 are connected to'pipe 9 by means of my improved coupling 17, and a single supply pipes similar coupling 18 connectsthe return pipes 15 and 16 with the return pipe 8. One of these couplings is illustrated in section in- Fig. 4, and it will be noted that-the coupling is in the form of a .Y chamber 19 greatest in diameter at its poiiit of juncture with the branches connected to the pipes 15 and 16, connects to the pipe 8 the same internal diameter as the pipe Coupling 17 is precisely likecoupling 1'8, and'the operation is the same except that the Water flows through the couplings in opposite directions. The hot from the coil 10, divides in the chamh'er l9 and flows through the through the radiators spective series, and then returns through the pipes 15 and the double Volume of water single pipe 8, and increases-the speed 0r' e-- locity of the ater asit passes through this pipe, through the Water chamber and through the coil 10 back to coupling 17.

The Water chamber 6 as above explained constitutes a hollow ring, and to utilize the having an internal and smallest Where it' at which point it of pipes-13 and 14,111), 11 and 12 of the re-.

16' to the coupling'lS, whefiia" passes into the water as it i'ises too maximum of heat units, this water chamber 20 which constitute pipes positioned at an incline and coiled between their ends as shown. The inner entrance ends of said zontally.

Fig. 6 shows a modified form of coil. 23 which has a general compound curvature.

Fig. 7 shows'a modified form of. water chamber havin inclined flues 24, and Fig. 8 shows a modified form of water chamber having somewhat vertically disposed fines coiled between their ends. In this latter form of waterchamber, no lip 21 is necessary, as the ashes cannot accumulate to close the fiues, nor can clinkers or pieces of coal get into the fines as is the case withthe other forms above described.

While I have described my improvements in connection with a heating apparatus in the cellar, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to any such use, but mayemploy the water chamber in an ordinary coal range, and shape the water chamber in various ways to accommodate itself to the stove in which it is used, and I believe that such an attachment will gradually reduce the cost of heating in large buildings or small houses, particularly with reference to the latter in which the present expensive hot water systems cannot be employed.

Various changes other than those set forth might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at libert to make such changes and alterationsj as tairly fall insane-r within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what ll claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is;

1. In a water heater, the combination with a fire box, of a water chamber in the the box, and a series of fines projecting through the water chamber and communicating at their ends with the interior of the fire box, substantially as described.

2. In a water heater, the combination with a fire box, of a water chamber in the tire box, and a series of fines projecting through the water chamber and communicating at their ends with theinterior of the fire box, said fiues coiled between their ends, substantially as described. c

3. In a water heater, the combination with afire box, of a water chamber in the fire box,

and a series of tlues projecting through the water chamber and communicating at their ends with the interior of thefire box, said fines coiled between their ends, and a pipe coil above said water chamber and interposed in the line of passage through said pipes, said water chamber comprising a circular hollow ring, substantially as described.

4:. In a water heater of the character described, the combination With a fire box, of an annular hollow ring in said fire box of smaller diameter than the fire box, said ring constituting a water chamber, a series of fiues projecting through the water chamber and communicating at both ends with the fire box, said pipes coiled between their ends, and an internal annular lip on said ring overhanging the entrances to said pipes, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
